Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Derek Well done! I have this piece in one of my books, but I just can't get the arpeggio going at the speed you have here. It's much more boring at a slow tempo. You're playing it very well!

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Wai Great job, Wai! I love that you are choosing lesser known composers. I think I've only played one piece by Diabelli (from an anthology like yours).…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Hannah Murphy Maybe Mauro was having a bad day when he wrote this. I just realized I've played three Giuliani pieces in a row in minor keys (four, if you count the intro to Op 61 I sight read).…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Hannah Murphy Thanks, Hannah. With dynamic plans, I always feel a bit like I'm stabbing in the dark, unsure of how to make it more effective. Maybe I'll look at the score a bit more,…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @joosje Thank you, Joosje. I do gravitate toward darker music. I hope it’s not an indication that I have a dark, dramatic personality. Maybe it’s cathartic for me!…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! Giuliani - Le Romarin Op 46 No 5 Okay, now this is seriously beautiful music! I knew this opus as a great one before this week, but I had never played anything from it.…

Re: Week 1: In the Salons of 19th Century Paris! @Steve Pederson I had a strong suspicion that it might be in this book. Since it is in G minor, it wasn't too hard to scroll through looking for pieces with the correct key signature,…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Wai This is such a pleasure to listen to, Wai! Your excellent playing really lets the beauty of the music come through. I’ve heard of Francesco Molino, but I’ve never played anything by him.…

Re: Week 1: In the Salons of 19th Century Paris! @joosje This was sublime, Joosje! Of all the variations in this piece, this one is by far my favorite, and you have played it beautifully. Your research into those two scores made for a great…

Re: tonebase Community Concert in - July 2022! I could play at this, but I can’t be there until about 15-20 minutes after it starts. If that’s okay, maybe I’ll play a new Giuliani I’m working on (Le Romarin Op 46 No 5).…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Hannah Murphy Yes, I’ve watched his lessons on Mertz’ Schubert arrangements and they’re excellent. On Standchen, I just can’t seem to get that 3 against 2 rhythm.

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Hannah Murphy Thank you so much, Hannah. I'm sorry your livestream got cut off today. Were there any other pieces by Mertz that you were going to present?
